Getting old sucks
FYI I have several family members that work in insurance. A lot of the hearing aid suppliers pad the bill/scam people into overpaying for them. A lot of hearing aids are covered but fees related to them might not. They tell me of $2400 "fitting fees" which are basically "we'll help you pick one" fees that are not covered by insurance and you're stuck paying it.

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
Forever and ever.......Whenever my wife pulled this I would remind her of my family motto. "I see your guilt and raise you indifference". If I do something wrong I'll own up and fix it. But when she used to pull up crap from years ago, I'd tell her to get over it because I'm past it. She can feel free to wallow in her own misery if it made her feel better but I'm not participating. And we're hitting 40 years this year.

Hood fights and other hood shenanigans
I understand your perspective too. My mom died when I was 14 after fighting cancer for a year. It was a very rough time in my life. I had an 8th grade teacher that ragged me because I was acting out somewhat and didn't seem to care about what I was going through. I eventually complete lost it in class one day and stood up and told him I was going to drag his ass in the hall and beat him down. I was really big kid, 6'1 290 lbs. I don't know if I could have beat a full grown man but I was willing to try. Luckily he remained calm and talked me off the ledge. And he never reported me either. As much as his continual actions/thought still piss me off today, I appreciate the fact that he remained calm and handled it the way he did.

My kid's teacher don't know no math!
- Hood fights and other hood shenanigans
The sticking point is whether the school district would do anything. My wife taught 3rd grade for years. One year, she had a student that would get up in the middle of class and start throwing everyone's papers off their desk on the floor. He would walk across tables, slam lockers and get in other students faces yelling at them. She was not allowed to stop him because the principle was terrified that the parent was going to file a complaint with the district and cause mass headaches. All she could do was sit at her desk and say please stop. If he didn't, she had to call the office while the kid continued to act this way, until a counselor appeared to take him away. Then they would go to the office, give him candy and try to tell him why he was acting improperly. It went on for almost 5 months of the school year before they finally removed him from her class. I went to elementary school in the 60's. Sister Mary Gotti would have slapped him into next year and then thrown him out of school. I'm sure there's a happy medium but I know that a lot of schools will never completely discipline a problem student.- Reminisce on Getting Busted in High School
I didn't start drinking or smoking until I was a junior in HS but when I did I made up for lost opportunities. Senior year I was unofficially voted Most Likely to be an Alcoholic. We drank/smoked at every dance, sporting events and even during school. Every Friday we would skip and go drink beer in the park down the street. We volunteered to work in a Headstart program and we would cut out early to go shoot pool and drink. We told our teachers we had been drinking at school and during events and not one of them ever turned us in. This is how wild the 70's were: At the last dance of my senior year a friend of mine and I sat in the school parking lot drinking Wild Turkey and beer. It was pouring rain and we didn't hear/see the Fort Worth cop/hired security come up to the car. He knocked on the window and we rolled it down enough to talk to him. He told us we couldn't sit in the car in the parking lot to go inside. He had to see us drinking. We went inside but kept sneaking out to drink more. On our last trip out I saw that my buddy had one of those Radio Shack hardhats with a spinning red light on top. So I put it one and we found the two cops standing in another lot. I turned the light on and we ran circles around them making siren noises. When we stopped we said " What are you boys doing in the parking lot? We think you been drinkin' and we're going to need to see some id's." It's at this point you would expect we should be handcuffed. Instead one of the cops said "Uh, I must have left me id at home, you're not going to arrest us are you?" We all started laughing and we went back inside. I still don't know how I made it through life without going to jail. And the buddy is a UT alum and though I haven't seen him in 30 years, I wouldn't be surprised that he reads this on Surly.- Gym Pet Peeves
Just to clear things up........yes user name noted, and I'm old so Planet Fitness. After working out today I went to take a shower and noticed an awful smell coming from the shower. Before I stepped in, I took a close and saw brown flecks all over the place. Someone had waffle stomped in it. I told closest employee I could find and he put an out of order sign on it until he could clean it up. I mentioned it at the front desk as I was leaving and the woman said that someone had did the same thing on the women's side last week. WTH is wrong with people. You can do the Waffle Stomp Quickstep all you want at home but don't do it at the health club.- This Guy Got Knocked The Fuckkkkk Out
Lol. "I can hit her at this point, right?"- Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
It's probably a carryover from when people didn't have cell phones or email addresses. You had to drop them off or mail them in. The only way of communicating back with an applicant was by mail or phone. I'd bet everyone uses a resume template and the address is another box to fill in.- Hood fights and other hood shenanigans
- Vinyl
I was fortunate enough to save all my old vinyl from the 70's up. I saved all my stereo stuff but gave it to my son when he moved out. Since then I've been picking up vintage equipment when I see it. I bought this Kenwood unit at a antique store last week fir $120. It was $975 when it was made in 1972-73. And everything works perfect. The volume control pot is broken but it still works. I've got it hooked up to some 80's Bose 501 speakers. One day I'll figure out how to hook the quad stuff up. 🤔- Best High School Fight Song
Clyde High Schools song used to be Wild Irish Rose. Don't know what the words were, but that was the melody.- This Guy Got Knocked The Fuckkkkk Out
Nope. But a lot of guys keep the weight manageable until their mid 30's. I just laugh at older guys (I am one and know better) who think they're badass until reality punches them in the face. And I know there are older guys you don't want to screw with but they are far outnumbered by guys like the guy in the video.- This Guy Got Knocked The Fuckkkkk Out
Guy probably weighed 165 lbs all his life, puts on 60 lbs and thinks he's a 225 lbs badass instead of a 60 lbs overweight dumbass.- Dumbass Shit on Nextdoor
Yeah a guy I went to HS with started embracing/discovered these during the covid plandemic (his words, no cr). He lives near a naval air station and would sit in his front yard taking pics and posting them to FB to rant. Since it was a government installation, it confirmed everything he read about them.- Tell Me About Texas a&m

Did they have to take 1/2 his head off after being shot or did someone do the old Tony Spilotro on him?- Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
Not my wife but when I was a teenager I came home drunk and drove through the garage door. My dad was not amused while I drunkenly explained why the garage door was in sections on the hood of my car. And I have no idea what I told him.- Post a pic that makes you lol
I read another story that there was one of the other officers wife involved too.- Getting old sucks
I play pipes at a lot of funerals. It's a little upsetting that I'm beginning to go to a lot of them that are for people my age and younger.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
I know where one of these (sans motor) is rotting away in a funeral home warehouse. Guy told me "I'm going to fix it up, not gonnna sell it". That was 12 years ago.- Tell Me About Texas a&m
